Roger Ailes, R.I.P.

The founder and CEO of FOX News has died. I suspect that his recent ouster on the basis of allegations of sexual misconduct had more to do with the personal political views of Rupert Murdoch’s sons than with truth and justice. After all, that is what they have done in their jobs as CEO and co-chairman of Fox News’ parent company, 21st Century Fox, and they appear to be busily destroying the FOX brand.

Democrats hated Roger Ailes because he was effective — a cardinal sin if you dare to promote less than progressive views. A lot of people admired him and what he created. Count me among them.
